    My main recommendation is to try giving your BP 5-7 days of alone time with no handling and then attempt feeding and see if that makes a difference.

    Other recommendations would be to also cover 3 sides of the tank with black paper in order to give your BP a better feeling of security. Also try feeding at either dawn or dusk at these are the times BP's come out to look for food in the wild.
